ONCE I LOVED

ONCE I LOVED THE WIND AS IT BLEW;

DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAINS OVER THE LAND.

ONCE I LOVED THE TOUCH OF THE SUN;

ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE TOUCH OF A HAND.

AND ONCE I LOVED THE SMELL OF THE SEA;

THE FEEL OF THE WAVES ROLLING OVER ME.

SEA AND SAND, AIR AND SKY;

ONCE I LOVED, ONCE I LOVED.

ONCE I LOVED ALL GOD'S THINGS;

THAT GROW ON EARTH AND COVER THE LAND.

AIR AND SKY, SEA AND SAND;

ONCE I LOVED, BUT NEVER 'TILL NOW.
